With the ethernet connections, can I plug in my laptop and use it as LAN connection? Meaning can I use the extender to connect my laptop with a cord?

It depends on how you are using the Mini. I have one in an area where it wirelessly connects to the main router. In that case you can plug into it with a wired device, but the connection would be wired except for the link between the Mini and the main router. I have a second one connected by wire to a switch in the room that is then connected by wire to the main router. If you plugged a wired device like a laptop into it, then yes, that device would be wired all the way. I use that one to provide wireless in that room because it is a long way from the main wireless router, and it also cover the garage/shop on the other side of the wall.

Work to do what? If you power it by USB, it will act as an Access Point, but if the school limits wired ports to a single device, it wouldn't allow multiple devices through an AP (a router would). If you want it to extend your range/signal strength, it would in a way - you could find the spot with the best signal, put this there, then extend that connection via USB to your computer. I don't believe it will act as a client bridge, meaning that you could not use an Ethernet cable from your computer to this device, with it acting as your wireless client. That option is not in the menu.

Tim , I reread your question , apologies . if your extending your wifi , this is not the item . This bridge can extend your wired lan , but its a bridge and upstream are wired connections , downstream is your router on wifi .

Sorry but no, this unit only connects to a WIFI network not through an Ethernet connection. For Ethernet connections you need an access point like the AP20000G.

Yes. All you need to do is connect the plug link into one off the ethernet ports and simply connect the other plug link from the wall to the computer you are trying too get internet service on. I used this for 9 months for bringing internet to my garage and i never had any problems.

You can get a Ethernet cable for your extension. Whatever length you need. Amazon does have them.

You wouldn't want to do that. Most likely your WiFi is a router and firewall, you want to hook up all of your pc's , laptops into the router/firewall so you are protected. If your WiFi is not a router/firewall with wireless, you may want to invest in one, and that will get you four ports for ethernet connections that are secure, as well as providing a wireless connection. Plus, this connector I have found does not work on the equipment that I use.good luck.

You should be able to plug it into any CAT5 plug. It shouldn't matter since it is on your LAN.

thats what im doing now. i have it the ethernet plugged into the router. then i have it locked because of the already customised lock code and i use another ethernet cord to connect to laptop. so my laptop gets the fastest speeds and i can still use wifi in my room

Yes, you can connect to a WIFI network with the included USB wireless LAN adapter, which is plugged into the back of the machine (an extension cord for the adapter is also included with the system). If WIFI matters to you, check with a seller to be sure the adapter is included. For an internet connection, you can also plug in an ethernet cord for a wired connection that may be faster and more reliable depending on the WIFI signal strength.

Yes- You can connect using WiFi so you can use it anywhere you have access to wireless so you do not have to be connected to ethernetThanks!Shamly

Yes. With this you can connect any Standard Ethernet Cord to the coupler on One end and connect a standard ethernet cord into the other end of the coupler to extend it.

Rhema; Yes, you can use this. What you will have is an ethernet connection. The speed of your internet will not keep this device from working.

Correct. Set up using an ethernet connection to the router and then unplug and relocate. Does have to be used to extend a separate router and/or modem. The modem needs to be connected to the Cat5e. Hope that helps

Need to elaborate a little bit. I can only assume that you have Ethernet cable, usually call Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. If yes, you shouldn't have any problems connecting this and make it as a bridge wifi router, I assumed? if not, this device won't do any good for your need until you rewired with the right type of cable + connector.

I am not sure exactly what you're trying to do with this, but the way the manufacturer put it to me was that this is a USB extension cord, not means to connect USB to Ethernet. It will convert USB to Ethernet so you can use an Ethernet cord to reach where you need it to, then back to USB.
